Ember seemed to have noticed Saphen's gaze as well. He could not help but look back, the carefree smile on his face unbroken as he asked, "What's wrong?"
Saphen said softly, "It feels like you're in a hurry to chase me away."
Hearing this, Ember immediately said, "How could that be? I'm just saying that nighttime is really too dangerous. Being out alone like this is really too dangerous, Saphen. Didn't you notice Stall's look? There are plenty of people even more disgusting than him!"
After a brief pause, he added, "Right, you said you were quitting your job. Have you actually quit yet? If not, once I recover, I'll take you to look for something else…"
Saphen shook his head. "Stall already apologized to me. I still need this job for now. Get some rest. If I'm free tomorrow, I'll come visit you again. If you need any help, just call me."
